  Hello

  Here's how to reinstall Vista with the Glens recovery Partition (if available to you):

  "Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  And this is how to use recovery provided Dell discs:

  "Manually reinstall your Windows Vista operating system"

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&CS=19&l=en&s=DHS&docid=DSN_339949&isLegacy=true

  If necessary (if you have problems with discs), call Dell and ask them to provide you with a set of recovery disks Vista.

  They do it for a small fee.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DellCare/contact_us?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&redirect=1

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Hi John McAvoy,.

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  (2) you get an error message?

  I want to clarify if this happens when you start Windows after logging in or before opening a session on windows.

  Method 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the mouse and keyboard > restart the computer and check

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

• Windows Vista starts with only a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  Saturday, 02/27/10, I left my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405 E) because I used Studio to produce a couple of videos.  When I got up in the morning, he himself had closed.  I tried to put on normally, and he said: recovery error windows, then on lists: Launch Startup Repair tool and start windows normally.  I tried to do a repair, but it just comes back to the same screen.  When I try to boot normally, it shows the progress on the background as usual bar, but then he comes up to a black screen with a mouse pointer.  When I run one of the many diagnostic tests, it is said that the BIOS cannot find the operating system loader.  I'm pretty adept at computers, but nothing I've tried before reinstalling Vista works.  I have files that I need to keep it on the computer, and only a few of them are saved.  Please help me soon, as I need for my school musical production on Thursday.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

• Cannot install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. The following error message appears: 0X800707d1

  Hello

  Three years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Never met a problem until I tried to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I already followed each step instructions Support of Microsoft issues Service Pack for any result or solution. In these cases, I have downloaded the pack update directly from the wepage of Windows Vista, installed Windows Update Readiness Tool, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and came up with nothing. I even tried to install this update in Mode safe but also failed to install Service Pack 2.

  What is happening all the time, is that I double click on archive downloaded in order to install (having already started my computer in Mode safe mode with networking reportoire and disabled the antivirus as well as its firewall). The Service Pack window opens and I click 'Next' for all the necessary instructions, including 'the computer automatically restarts. When the toolbar installation is completed, the computer automatically goes to restart itself. 3 steps appear as a requirement for the completion of the installation process. All goes well until he reaches "step 3 of 3:100% finished. Do not turn off your computer. After about ten minutes of stall in this step, the following message appears on the screen: "the Service Pack cannot be installed, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer.

  The computer then rolls back all the changes and initiated in the normal state. After the opening, the first window that appears displays the following message: "the specific driver is not valid. "(Details): error: ERROR_BAD_DRIVER (0x800707d1). I proceeded to check and update alone driver of my computer, then try again to install the Windows Vista SP2 and all the operation has been a failure. I was cracking my head trying to solve this particular problem, and each time the same error pops up. I am seriously considering reformatting Windows Vista from manufacturer CD from my Dell, but I don't know if that would help.

  If someone could help or advise with everything that I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

• screen brightness blocked after sleep/wake extended in windows vista with HP Pavilion dv6000

  Sometimes after recovery mode PC standby or Hibernate, the brightness of the screen is locked up and I can't change it.

  Nothing happens when I adjust the brightness setting in power or with FN + f7/f8 options.

  Even when I remove the power cable and operate on battery rest brightness up

  The only way to fix this is to completely restart windows vista.

  This happens not all the computer returns from sleep/hibernate, but it happens frequently.

  I have all the latest drivers for:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?OS=2093&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&product=3466864&lang=en

  using

  NVIDIA GeForce series video driver 7.15.11.5665 has,
  BIOS F.31

  I have all the latest important updates from windows update.

  Anyone know a fix for this?

  For example, is there a way to 'reset' of the screen without having to reboot vista?  Once the brightness has been blocked, and I tried to reinstall the driver for the graphics card. The screen resets during the installation process without getting out of vista, and brightness worked normally.

  Someone knows a way to reset the screen without having to restart or reinstall the graphics driver?

  HP Pavilion 6563, home premium Windows Vista 32.

  In fact, I found an easy way to solve the problem without having to restart vista...

  I just close the LID and open it back, now I can control the brightness again.

  I put the "close cover" - function of "doing nothing" in the powersettings...

• Windows Vista crashes when coming out of sleep mode

  When I get out of mode 'sleep', the computer crashes and I get a message of dump of crash that don't last long enough to play entirely. I have to start the computer in safe mode, and then restart windows vista safe mode. This just started happening in the last few days. Ideas for a fix. ?

  Hi bissie,.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  Sometimes an error occurs on your computer and you're immediately struck by a mistake. The only problem is that the screen flashes if fast as you rarely get to see what may have caused the error in the first place. Once we get to know the error that we would be in a better position to solve the problems on the issue.

  First of all, we will try to disable the auto restart so that we get the full error. Follow the steps to disable it.

  1. click on the Start button

  2. from Start menu click Control Panel

  3. in Control Panel, click on the system icon

  4. in the window system to look on the left side of the window and you will see a list of options. Click the advanced system settings option

  5. because the management of the computer requires administrative privileges, you can find the user account control is displayed. If she then enter the required information (if you are not the administrator) or, if you are the administrator, click on the button continue

  6. in the advanced settings window, look for the startup and recovery section and then click on the settings button

  7. in the startup and recovery window, find the marked section of the system failure and delete the "tick" of the option 'automatically restart '. Now press the OK button

  8. Finally, click the OK button in the System Properties window, and then close the system window.

  Let us know the error message you get after recovery from sleep mode.

  You can try the Microsoft article that fixes most of the problems with sleep

  How to troubleshoot performance problems with sleep, hibernation and resume in Windows Vista:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950686

  Also as you mentioned that this was happening a few days ago then you can try to perform a system restore. Restore the computer to a point while it was working fine.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.
